Should I Go?

[Barbie1994]

Im 39 weeks pregnant, all day today ive been cramping (like menstrual cramps)and its been mild. Its been consistent... Not like contractions. Wednesday i went to the DR and i had a super high amount of protein in my urine & normal blood pressure. My.doc is concerned about preeclampsia. So i did a 24HR pee thing .. Which came back super elevated for protein. He told me to come back Monday to check my blood pressure. But today has been really painful with these cramps that havent went away. I text my doctor about a hour ago and asked him if it was ok to take Tramadol for the pain. He told me if i felt like i needed tramadol then i needed to go be evaluated. My boyfriend said i should just try the tramadol. Im debating on if i should go or just try the meds. Help?

They make percocet with no Tylenol in it.

Only reason i was prescribed tramadol is because im allergic to Tylenol & can't have most meds because Tylenol is the main ingredient in most meds

NO TRAMADOL!!! I had ankle surgery in the beginning of my pregnancy and was prescribed pain killers (vicodin and percocet) I was always more comfortable with the tramadol since it's non narcotic. I looked it up and it said it's absolutely not ok during pregnancy,  however the narcotics were (also recommended by my dr) hope you feel better!

I totally agree with peaches I just would have said it differently if the doctor told you to get evaluated then do what he said don't question it don't self medicate don't listen to your bf who is not a obgyn just go be evaluated. to many women have loss babies sitting around twiddling their thumbs trying to figure it out on their own.  You got medical advice use it good luck!

Thank you guys

If your doctor suggested you go get evaluated then you should listen to him/her. We are just expectant mothers, you got a medical opinion and none of us are qualified to override your doctor's suggestions. I think it would be worth the trip especially if your doctor recommends it.

I wud be too afraid to risk the drugs on my own since u already have issues with the high protein levels and pregnancy is such a delicate thing. If it's that bad and u can't see the doc go to the hospital. At least u can be sure if there are maybe other issues. Good luck momma!!!
